Publish a live dependency-risk page when a Linear blocking issue goes overdue

What it does

This workflow watches Linear issues that block other issues. When such a blocker passes its due date without reaching Done, it pulls every issue in its blocked-by chain and rewrites a Confluence page that shows the slipped blocker, the full at-risk tree, and which teams own the exposed work.

When to use it

Use it when stakeholders outside engineering need a readable, always-current snapshot of dependency risk without poking through Linear. The Confluence page is something a program manager can link in a status update.

How it works

  1. 1A Linear trigger fires when an issue with blocking relationships passes its due date and is not Done.
  2. 2A filter confirms the issue actually blocks at least one other open issue.
  3. 3A Linear action walks the blocked-by graph and groups dependent issues by owning team.
  4. 4A formatting step builds a risk summary with severity and team rollup.
  5. 5A Confluence action publishes or updates the dependency-risk status page as the output.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  2. 2
    Connect ConfluenceSpaces, pages, blueprints.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
